23 Practical Strategies to Help New Faculty Thrive

Most beginning faculty members are confident in their knowledge of their subject area, but unsure about how to run their classrooms. That’s because graduate programs often do little to prepare future faculty members for the rigors of teaching.

Left to their own devices, new faculty members can develop some bad habits. They may resort to a trial-and-error method of choosing teaching strategies, with mixed results. Discouragement and frustration soon follow.

In 23 Practical Strategies to Help New Faculty Thrive, award-winning professor Ike Shibley will fill this training gap by explaining how new college professors can sharpen their pedagogical skills while avoiding common errors and teaching traps.
